Good day to both of our readers... No, I am sure there are more than two fo you. At least 30 people in the Ukraine have visited this blog!
Cardi-Bach report first.
We had an excellent night last night - Glen Johnson, he of the 'History Man' fame came along and gave an illustrated talk on the Cardi-Bach railway in Cilgerran and Cardigan. Lots of new photos and a good question and answer session.
On Monday we had a brainstorming meeting with John Ewart from PLANED regarding the setting up of our own website. Hopefully in a few months the story of the Cardi-Bach and our archive of pictures and stories will be out in the ether for everybody and his dog to read. (Thats if your dog can read. Otherwise he can just look at the pictures...)
Talking of pictures there are lots to see on the Login Station Facebook page:

Just click on 'posts'  in the left hand column.

And so on to the Duffers section. We never had a gathering this week, due to last nights Society meeting. However, leading on from the above mentioned Login Station, Pete, the Station Master is also an honorary ChufferDuffer, and those of you who have been paying attention to previous posts in the blog will recall that Peter is building a layout in 009 depicting the Lynton and Barnstaple narrow gauge line.

On Monday I had the chance to catch up with Pete's kit/scratch building of the L & B buildings.

Here is Woody Bay Station:

 

 And a couple of close-ups of the firebuckets and the shed:

We omitted to include some object for scale comparison, so you have to imagine the size - Peter is building at 4mm to the foot, so those buckets are just over one quarter of an inch high...

Two more pictures that speak for themselves:

(The chimney pots are proprietary items - you have to draw the line somewhere...


And this is where it all gets constructed and painted. (more buildings to the right, and Lynton Station lurking in the background)

And there we have it for this week.
Chuffers are meeting here at Llechryd next week, as Pat is in the throes of decorating, but he has offered to provide the sustenance - I don't think we could cope with curry two meetings on the trot!

'Til next week.
Shaun.
